Question

. Why meniscus is formed in graduated cylinder but not in a beaker

Answer 1

Answer:

Water molecules are attracted to the molecules in the wall of the glass beaker. And since water molecules like to stick together, when the molecules touching the glass cling to it, other water molecules cling to the molecules touching the glass, forming the meniscus.

Answer 2

A meniscus is a curve on the surface (water, of course), of a molecular substance as it affects another element. You can picture it with water as if it sticks inside of a glass.

Explanation:

• Adhesive is responsible for a meniscus, partially due to the extremely high surface tension of the water. The molecules of the wall of the beaker are attracted by water molecules.
• Since water molecules want to hang together, other water molecules hold on to it when the molecules contact the surface, shape the meniscus. And because the water molecules hang together.
• They can move up to the glass very far, until they are blocked by gravity, by the unified forces of the water. Cohesion is an inter-molecular pull between molecules such as (in this case, other water molecules).
